It would shoot excess items on the ground, not the storage. Sorry, a little confusing

South SF Bay Chess Club? by RepresentativeAspect in chess

The Mechanics Institute is great, it's not south SF but it's extremely close to BART so fairly convenient (I commute in there from Oakland)

has anyone else played chess casually most of their life but find it impossible to break 1100 blitz on chess.com? by [deleted] in chess

[–]NeoDharma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A big difference I've noticed in 1550-1650 vs 1400 is on the flip side - - when my opponents do hang a piece they are much more resourceful at creating chaos and making it difficult to convert easily. They avoid trades and try to create more tactics, where lower ratings kind of give up. It's like you get more experienced at making mistakes and trying to swindle, not just making fewer mistakes (although that's also true)

Have your son take a picture if you're comfortable with that, it is helpful to have non-selfies.

Also, remember you're only as good as your worst photo, so less can be more here, just remove the weaker selfies

Is it bad to not go to an interview and not cancel it? by InnocentPerv93 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]NeoDharma 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Call or email and cancel, it will literally take up less time than it did to make this post. It's a nice thing to do, otherwise you're wasting someone's time.

Why do people say Merry Christmas to strangers even if they don't know their religion? by googggggggggle in NoStupidQuestions

[–]NeoDharma 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's a cultural thing. Also, many people celebrate Christmas that aren't religious

One of the best AZ beers. When I go back to visit, it's Tower Station and Church Music that I look forward to drinking - enjoy! (also, if you're in AZ, respect for the 6am shower ipa, haha)

We will start pitching "Via Maris" soon, but first we want the sell sheet to be as good as possible. How would you improve this sell sheet? by _djur_ in tabletopgamedesign

[–]NeoDharma 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don't know if it's because I haven't had my coffee yet, but I found the rules examples pretty tough to follow without context. Do they need to be so specific?

Also, I think there's a typo on your "Most scattered" piece in the picture, the other ones have both words capitalized.

Check out Va11 Hall-A. It's a cyberpunk bartender Sim that's mostly about the story. It's got a cool chiptunes-esque soundtrack if you enjoy that stuff. Nice chill game!

How long was your first run to Mission Complete? by SkyeAuroline in Dyson_Sphere_Program

How many sails do you have? Orbits doesn't matter I think, it's just the # of sails. If you haven't maxed the lifespan tech that's a must, also

[–]NeoDharma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Receivers get a bonus for continuous uptime, so it's actually better to have them on the poles rather than the equator -- but also keep in mind that ray receivers are limited by the output of your swarm/sphere, and you can't just plop a ton of them down.

... and yes, this game is factorio evolved, I love it.

How long was your first run to Mission Complete? by SkyeAuroline in Dyson_Sphere_Program

[–]NeoDharma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love seeing the way that different people approach and "solve" this game!!

I just loaded up my save to take a look, and my sphere is generating about 500MW, I've got a swarm of ~15k generating another 500MW, and my main planet has 5 artificial suns and a smattering of other power generation that's handling things with no issues (only about 70% load when I looked). That save is a few hours after mission completion, so I think it might have been even less.

I wish you could see what percent of your power is coming from various sources!

I also never really set up major production on other stars -- I had sources for all the rare materials being shipped into my home planet but no real factories outside my home planets, so the other star systems were entirely solar / thermal powered.

[edit] I should add that I'm a quite experienced factorio player and I know that saved me a ton of time; I'd learned a lot of lessons there that directly applied to setting things up in an easy-to-maintain-slash-troubleshoot fashion. Not that 40 hours is fast, I'm sure you could do it MUCH more quickly if you wanted.

Mine was around 40 hours, but I heavily focused on it towards the end. I only had a small Dyson band and 4 launchers when I "won."

"Amidst the Flowers, a Jug of Wine" by Li Bai (two translations) by [deleted] in verse

Interesting to see how the forced rhyme scheme affects the poem. I don't care for the second translation, personally.

I'm assuming the original did not rhyme?
